Most assemblers (including Ray) report one of the two alleles because
the resulting assembly is haploid.

I think that ALLPATHS-LG can report allelic variations in
a separate file.

Ray uses a deterministic algorithm based on coverage, and branch length.

It is more like a default behavior I guess.
